Tsx H.i.d.
are aimed way too high! everytime i see one at night I get blinded. Looks like they're aimed up to eye level. Worse than 350z. Shouldn't they have a recall or something? At first i got fooled and thought it was just a ricer, but now i can tell the difference.
Nothing works better than a Chris except a Honda.

Rep Power: 346 I think they're weird too... or maybe they were designed as a conspiracy for Civic drivers to switch to a TSX because the angle was directed specifically so that light would bounce back from the Civic's rear view mirror to a Civic driver's eyes...

Rep Power: 811 um yea alot of cars have great hid setups, just not the tsx and a few others (trucks and suv especially). Evo has no excuse cause you can just aim em down with a button.
I don't think the TSX is bad at all! The Range rover is one that's bad, but the worst... Nissan Maxima. They are pointed up pretty darn high. I guess I'm used to it though, it don't bother me.

Rep Power: 434 TSX projectors perform on par with S2000. It's just not as sharp nor does it provide the same amount of coverage as the S2000 projectors, but not everyone needs 170 degrees of HID vision lol.
Nissan Maximas are known for their over-the-top, literally, aimed HID projectors. They are aimed high and they have a large slant pattern.
Range Rovers seem to be aimed high because their headlights are further from the ground than the roof of our cars. It just makes sense that they would be blinding everyone on the road except other SUV drivers.
Something else you should know about TSX projectors is that they emit a rainbow colorband above the cutoff line. That might be what you are seeing in the rear view.

Rep Power: 811 all i know is i just about get blinded when i see one. s2k and tl are aimed nicely. the tsx is just way too high. i'm not wearing sunglasses at night. its just ironic that the d.o.t. yells at us for not aiming and then oem lights come out that cause the same problem or worse. My problem isn't with hid because there are some cars I can stare at for hours and not have messed up eyes.
